A feel-good movie that is intelligent and fun

Rating: 8/10 (24 July 2005)

This movie is very gratifying and fun to watch. When I walked out the theater, I still feel this sense of well-being, happiness and feeling of beauty. What makes me feel good is not just good finally triumphed over evil, or that basic humanity is preserved, but also the youth and beauty of our main characters that resonates in my heart. I love watching McGregor and Scarlett Johansson together. What a lovely pair. When they sail on the ocean together, I feel like seeing paradise in my eyes.
The story is flawlessly told, and actions are well directed. I feel connected with almost everyone in the movie, even the bad guys.
It is very rare that a movie makes me feel so good after watching it. The island has achieved this, and I thank the director for giving me such a wonderful and high-quality time.
